Jake Cunningham of Blacks Sta
ton has been experimenting with
large tarantula he caught and
Gagged in a glass jar few days ago.
He first dropped spider into tho
Jar with him and in a second he
had torn the spider to pieces. He
then put live mouse into the jar.
In an instant the tarantula showed
fight and locked in with his mouse
ship. In just one minute and
half, by the watch, the mouse was
dead, and his deadly enemy was
waiting for more worlds to conquer.
Webster says "the tarantula is q
species of the spider; its bite some
times produces a trihing effect,
about equal to the sting of a wasp,
and is popularly supposed to be
cured by music" Mr.. Webster is
doubtless good authority on Or
biography, pronunciation, ect, but
he is sway off" on tarantula; their
bite is as poisonous as that of a
rattlesnake, and if no remedy is
taken in time will produce death,
or what is o thousand times worse,
nervous disease that renders life
burden while it docs last.-Yolo

boldly up to the party, which con-
sisted of four desperate villains,
and telling them that he believed
he would camp near them, he drove
his pack animals a few rods away,
unsaddled and throwing his pack
carelessly down, walked up to the
robbers campfire and entered into
conversation with them. So care
less did he seem in his remarks
that he threw the party off their
guard, and supposing him to be
what he claimed, an unfortunate
miner on his return to WebfOOt,
they invited him to partake of their
evening meal. He accepted their
invitation and continued ON in their
company until it came time for
them to picket out their animals
and repose for the night. Barber
rolled himself up in his blankets,
as did the others, and using his
greasy packs for pillow, lay down,
not to sleep, for he realized his
great danger. Next morning nc
broiled a piece of bacon over the
robbers camp fire, which, together
with a piece of cold bread, CON-
pleted his bill of fare. Then sad
ding his animal and bidding his
companions of the night friendly
goodbye. he continued on his jour-
ney, which he safely concluded, de-
livering to Barney Goldsmith, then
in the assaying business in this
city, 153 pounds of gold dust, and
saving his employers express char
ges amounting to $4,000. The road
he travelled is now dotted with
ranches and thriving villages, and,
like the native savages, the road
agent has disappeared forever. In
recalling those days a thousand
"reminiscences pass before the minds
of those who participated in the
adventures of the times. But the
actors on the stage of 1862 are
rapidly passing from human view,
and there will soon be none left to
recount their adventures, their
hardships, their failures or their
triumphs.

There is a story about a street
car conductor who had finished a
trip and was leaning up against a
bale of hay in the car barn count
ing his money and comparing it
with the record of his bell-punch.
He found that he had collected
Just quarter of a dollar more than
the register called for. He took
the quarter out of handful of
money and began to apostrophize
it. "See here" said he, "shall |
give you to old - Jones, let us
say, naming the railroad President
or keep you myself? I'm entitled
to you and | know it, but I'll give
Jones a chance. I'll toss you up,
and if you come down heads you're
Jones's, if you come down tails
you're mine."
He tossed up the coin and it fell
head upwards. The conductor
looked at it a moment obviously.
"Ill toss it again, said he. Once
more he threw it up, and again ii
came down heads. swell, now,
I'll be darned if l give it to Jones,
said the conductor, slapping his
hand to his pocket. Just at this
juncture the president himself, who
banned TO have been on the prem
ises, and who stepped behind the
bale of hay as soon as he heard the
beginning of the soliloquy, ap
peared and exclaimed: " Yes
you will give it to me! I've won i
twice running, and I'll have it?
He got the quarter.

Judge Usher Of Lawrence, Kan,
probably the last surviving men,
ber of the Lincoln Cabinet, relates
this incident: "After Paine was
incarcerated for his attempted as
sassination of Seward, he for a long
time kept stoical silence. But one
day after his sentence he broke into
tears as he made his sorrowful con-
fession to General Eckert. Among
other things he said about this:
Il was appointed to assassinatc
Lincoln, and fully intended to do
so. Everybody knew his custom
was to go over to the War Depart
ment, after all the duties of the day
were over, for the latest news from
the seat of war, and l expected to
shoot him on one Of these trips;
but after l took the contract he
did not go over at night for two
weeks, and / was reprimanded; So
| determined to find an opportuni-
ty. l stood behind tree the night
after my reprimand, when Mr.
Lincoln and another gentleman un-
expectedly passed me. waited
for their return. AS they passed
Mr.. Lincoln was telling a story, Of
